Got an email from Tuesday Night Games yesterday. A shipping notification for the Mothership boxed set. Should arrive in time for me to read it over the weekend.
Why do these ideas always come up when I'm working on something else? I'm aware that mashing up mecha and westerns isn't new or original. These are some ideas I'm jotting down for later. Maybe I'll run it with Lancer?
@robindlaws That tweet from Musk reads like an apocalyptic log entry found in the burned out hulk of a remote lab facility in some sci-fi horror game. "Experiment going well. Results look promising." Sheesh.
I favor understatement in RPG materials. Weird fonts and cluttered layouts hamper my ability to read the book. Many things that might make a book look "cool" may turn me off it.
My current favorite is the Star Trek Adventures Gamemaster's Guide. Textured cover. Simple black text on white pages. Enough art to navigate around it. Even has a bookmark!
I like these D&D character sheets for players with dyslexia. A relatively simple layout with enough going on to be interesting without devolving into visual chaos.
